For the longest time, I’ve been trying to commit to Cesar Kuriyama’s 1 Second Everyday project. You can read more about it in an old blog that I wrote here. I wasn’t successful at it the first three times that I’ve tried it – and I always try to choose a particular day to begin …

TLDR — I’m going to spend in a week completely disconnected from the world, working, thinking, relaxing, and floating in the ocean and deciding what the heck to do with my life. See you all when I get back from Bermuda next Friday!
